"Mr. Di, let me tell you what I mean by getting this tattoo, can you listen?" A customer sat cross-legged on the bed and waited, while the tattoo artist Di also didn't finish his preparations, so he didn't say a word.

"Listen! Then you get my emotions, and you inject them into it!" The customer reached out to grab Di Ye, and Di stepped back in fright, and his eyes exposed outside the mask looked horrified.

"See what you're afraid of, I just want you to listen to me." The customer was a little fat, and sat there with a big lump of cross-legged.

Di is also young, an excellent tattoo artist who only joined the year before, and is just twenty-five this year. His pictures always have his own ideas and are highly recognizable. But also very axis, unwilling to listen to arrangements.

"Go ahead," Di also frowned slightly, "I'm listening."

"Okay, then I'll give you some background first." The customer sat there and started talking about the person he met seven or eight years ago.

Not far away, the European uncle and Tao Xiaodong looked at each other, and then smiled at each other. Di is also the most annoying story. People who come to tattoo often come with stories, and they can't wait to write an essay on the meaning behind the picture. With the recollection of the past, with the self-examination, and the warning of the future.

There's nothing wrong with this. Tattoos have their own meanings for everyone. Tao Xiaodong doesn't mind customers telling them about it. It's a solemn thing to inject soul and belief into a picture, which is good. But some tattoo artists don't like it and feel that telling these stories is burdening him, so that he can't make pictures freely, such as Di Ye.

Before the brother finished talking, Di had already started to get started. He showed the other person the drawing again and asked him, "Are you sure there is no problem with the drawing? Or I will transfer it to you and see it."

"I haven't finished speaking yet, so you won't listen?" Big brother still hasn't said enough.

Di also said: "You say yours. Is the picture ok?"

"No."

Dee nodded, too, and sat down to work.

Tao Xiaodong was forced to listen to a story, the elder brother told it carefully for more than an hour, Tao Xiaodong said to a boy in work clothes passing by, "Go and pour a glass of water."

The boy nodded and poured the water.

Tao Xiaodong's client here is a girl and whispered, "I sound thirsty."

Tao Xiaodong asked her with a smile, "Add some water?"

"No, there is." The girl propped her calf to facilitate Tao Xiaodong's drawing, and drank water while listening to the story.

After listening to the story, I began to appreciate my unfinished tattoo, which was a black and red tribal tattoo, which is very textured on the little girl's white skin. She said with a "tsk", "My leg has risen to a work of art in an instant."

Tao Xiaodong didn't look up and said, "Your legs are beautiful."

The little girl smiled and asked, "Really? I didn't think it was long enough."

Tao Xiaodong said: "Very good."

This is not to make her happy. The skin is white, the pores are almost invisible, and the muscle lines are smooth and not stiff. In the eyes of the tattoo artist, this is a rare good skin.

On the day when both calves were finished, Huan Ge took the camera around the little girl and took pictures back and forth for a long time.

Tao Xiaodong started out as a tribal tattoo head, and many pictures created with simple geometric shapes and lines are still hanging in the tattoo artist's atlas.

This set of pictures was simply repaired and sent to the accounts of various platforms.

The girl's two calves look symmetrical when taken together, but separate and self-contained. From the knees down to the ankles, it is covered with thick colors. The geometric coldness contrasts strongly with the slender ankles of the girl. When walking, the tendons on the insteps are faintly pulled up and connected to the ankles, which are cold and soft.

As soon as this set of Tu Huan Ge was posted, it started to turn around a lot, and later all turned out of the circle. Even the account of a certain high-cold studio in the distance has rarely changed, and that account seldom circulates these things. I don't know who is managing the account, so I said "nb" when I forwarded it.

Tao Xiaodong's picture is not the first time out of the circle, their fans here are getting used to it. Taking advantage of the crowd, some people began to post Tao Xiaodong's atlas, Huan Ge was so happy these days, he was busy staring at the platform accounts he managed every day.

Those people in the circle despise Tao Xiaodong, but they are often pulled back by his pictures. However, it is impossible for Tao Xiaodong to waste such a moment of popularity. Huan Ge proficiently posted advertisements and various propaganda, which lowered the favorability that had just been mentioned.

Tao Xiaodong doesn't even know much about these things. He is famous in the online flashy world. In reality, Tao Xiaodong is nothing more than an older brother who is walking on slippers and wearing pajama pants and cutting fruit for his younger brother.

We have to leave tomorrow. The two brothers have already packed their things. Tao Huainan really hasn't been out for a long time. At that time, he said he wanted to go with him, but now he is worried that he will cause trouble to Tao Xiaodong.

Chi Cheng and Tao Huainan were sitting on the sofa, while Tao Xiaodong was cutting fruit in the kitchen. Chi Cheng asked him in a low voice, "Are you sure you don't want me to go?"

Tao Huainan nodded and said, "You have to go to school."

Chi Cheng frowned: "I don't have time to take care of you when I'm busy."

Tao Huainan shook his head and said softly, "It's okay".

The next day, Chi Cheng stuffed Tao Huainan's face-wiping cream into his bag before going to school, and said to him, "Remember to wipe it yourself, the wind blew your face apart."

Tao Huainan responded vaguely while brushing his teeth.

Chi Cheng put on his shoes and left.

Tao Huainan turned to touch Tao Xiaodong, and found that his brother had been raising his arms in front of the sink.

"Shave your beard, bro?"

Tao Xiaodong said "um" and touched his chin and neck with his hand. Tao Huainan laughed twice, then squinted a little, Tao Xiaodong asked him, "What's the fun?"

Tao Huainan said, "You've really liked to shave recently."

Tao Xiaodong flicked on his head, nodded slightly and said, "Is it clean?"

Tao Huainan then reached out and touched his brother's neck and chin back and forth: "It's clean, it's slippery."

Because Tao Huainan was going to be with him, he took a little more things this time. Tao Xiaodong carried a suitcase and a bag on his back. Tao Xiaodong is the gold owner and has a high status. People in the hospital see him coming over to say hello. Many people who are familiar with him also know Tao Huainan. After all, Tao Huainan often goes to the hospital to see his eyes.

After getting on the plane, Tao Xiaodong took Tao Huainan's hand to find a seat and let Tao Huainan sit inside by the window. Tao Xiaodong sat next to him. After a while, someone sat next to him. Before Tao Xiaodong could say anything, Tao Huainan laughed first and whispered, "Doctor Tang!"

Tao Xiaodong said with a smile, "Amazing."

Tang Suoyan greeted him and patted his head across Tao Xiaodong, Tao Huainan smiled well: "I can smell Dr. Tang."

Because Tao Huainan can't see, his other senses are more sensitive. He likes the mint smell on Tang Suoyan's body, but what kind of smell is it? Tao Xiaodong has never smelled it before. He doesn't have such a smart nose.

Tang Suoyan must be wearing a shirt, and Tao Xiaodong deliberately wore a shirt today. Tang Suoyan smiled lightly and said to Tao Xiaodong, "Is it all decent today."

Tao Xiaodong thought for a while before realizing that he was talking about the last time he was the only one wearing a shirt, and whispered, "I can only pretend to be a decent person for the day, and tomorrow I will have to wear short-sleeved slacks, which makes me uncomfortable. "

"You don't need to wear it." Tang Suoyan glanced at him, then glanced down at his shirt, "It's good to be yourself."

Tao Xiaodong made a joke and asked, "I don't look good in a shirt?"

The two men were embarrassed when they talked about whether they looked good or not. Tang Suoyan just hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "It's fine."

This time, the places they are going to are scattered, they have to go to several county hospitals, and they have to change places several times in the middle. Tao Xiaodong has always been generous in doing these things. He has several equipment vehicles to popularize basic equipment in remote medical and backward areas.

Tao Huainan can't see anything. This is the reason why many blind people never go out. They can't see the unfamiliar or beautiful scenery.

Tang Suoyan knew that Tao Huainan liked him, so he took him with him all the time, taking a car with them every time he went. On the first day, on the way from the airport to the county seat, Tang Suoyan asked the driver to stop, and he took Tao Huainan out of the car.

A shepherd on the opposite side drove the sheep over slowly and leisurely. Tao Huainan took a breath and said, "What's the smell?"

Tang Suoyan didn't answer him. After a while, the sheep approached. Tao Huainan heard the sheep's cry and said with a smile, "Sheep."

Tao Xiaodong watched them from the car, and after seeing the sheep approaching, Tang Suoyan held Tao Huainan's wrist and led him to touch the sheep, the thin hair of the goats, and the two bags hanging under their necks. , and touched the whip in the shepherd's hand.

"It doesn't smell good, right?" Tang Suoyan asked him beside him.

A lamb touched its mouth on Tao Huainan's calf, and it was a little itchy. Tao Huainan smiled and ducked for a while, then nodded and said, "Taste, it smells like mutton."

After the flock passed by, Tang Suoyan got in the car and took a bottle of water, and they both washed their hands together.

Tao Xiaodong didn't speak, and listened to Tang Suoyan saying to Tao Huainan, "Remember this smell. You can also remember the sheep you touched just now, the whip of the shepherd, and the wind just now. The sky here is very blue and the soil is yellow."

He nodded while talking about Tao Huainan, pursing his lips slightly.

"This is the first day you came to Gansu with your brother and Dr. Tang. On the way, you met a flock of sheep." Tang Suoyan spoke in a gentle, calm and reassuring voice.

Tao Huainan said, "I remember."

Tang Suoyan smiled and continued: "We are going to do something that is not great but meaningful. Your brother is a great person. I may not be able to take you to look for memory points in the next time. , remember to look for yourself. Every place you go is different, feel them, and remember them.”

Tao Huainan nodded again, clasped his palm vacantly, and said "OK".
